Those were the days, Dunlop trials wellies and boiler suits, love the Ossa, last of the greenies.
Where was the pic taken?

Hey Guys,

here's some pics of my 5 year TY restoration... Actually it was post divorce therapy so I didn't have anyone watching what I spent, I just didn't have any money!

Hi all,

I have just received my '06 Beta Rev3 ex UK and as a requirement for the trip it has been drained of fluids. My question is, what are the best pre-mix oils and ratios, gearbox oil and coolant?

Thanks

Are you sure the plug gap should be 0.3 - 0.4mm? My manual states 0.5 - 0.6mm

Thanks - Mark

Spot on David, the pilot was blocked, it's almost right now but it's still not as responsive right off the bottom as I'd like, maybe I should try a 27.5 or 30 pilot jet?

Thanks - Mark

Hi all,

the closer I get to finishing this project, the more money it seems to consume! I'm 99% there, just need new shockies to finish. However..... I ran this bike for the first time last week, mechanically it's all sweet as a nut (should be, as just about everything has been replaced) but it ...
